The Woods

Deeper into your surreal arms, filled

with your enigmatic love, I fell

wrapped up, in silken green leaves

cuddled with your wooden fingers

kissed by only your breath, your air

The wind, you blew through my hair

and I knew, I longed to stay forever

For only you listened to my core

The phrase 'the woods' can conjure a foreboding feeling, where the Wolf chased Little Red Riding Hood. But your take has the woods being a comforting presence, embracing you in it's warm branches, leaves like a down pillow for the soul, the air's soft breaths sending breezing tickles through your hair. Very nicely done, young lady, and I hope you have a Happy New Year! take care...dan

Entangling romantically with a tree--wow. I've never heard it put quite like this, and you're the imaginative one who did it. Tolkien's ents would approve, I'm sure. Very nice writing, Lynn.

Ah yes... I am "home" within the misty woods of the Appalachians.
This poem calls to me.
It reads like a whispered song.

When I was a bit younger I used to backpack alone into the White Mountains. Leaving the road and civilization behind me at the trailhead, after a few minutes into forest, I would get the sense of being swallowed up by another world, another dimension. The peacefulness of it all. Your poem brings me back there.
